Activists
of the campaign “Human Rights Defenders against the Death Penalty” created an
animated film entitled “The Queue”, which touches on deep philosophical
subjects: human life and the indifference of society in relation to the issue
of the death penalty.

The essence
of this film is explained by the coordinator of the campaign “Human Rights Defenders
against the Death Penalty” Andrei Paluda:

“In their
new video “The Queue” the activists reveal the aspect of indifference to the
issue of the death penalty among Belarusian society. People often do not even think
about what the issue of the death penalty means for each of us, as the
sentences are executed in the name of the Republic of Belarus.

Indeed,
every citizen is in his or her queue; days and years go by, and people are
standing in line to finish school, get a degree, find a well-paid job... Other
problems very seldom affect people.

As part of
the campaign “Human Rights Defenders against the Death Penalty” we urge people
not to be indifferent to life, especially in a situation of having the death
penalty in a country called Belarus. For while there are trials – there are
miscarriages of justice, and in our country such a mistake could take away the
life of an innocent human being.

Therefore,
we are against the death penalty... Do not be indifferent, join the campaign!"
